Figure 2From: Effects of acute ingestion of different fats on oxidative stress and inflammation in overweight and obese adults Oxidative stress marker response to three high fat meals differing in fat type. Over 4 h, a) the area under the curve for peripheral blood mononuclear cell nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) activation was higher for O3FA than SFA (p < 0.05) as determined by densitometric data analysis following EMSA analysis and b) shown in a representative EMSA image of NF-κB activation. Also, c) plasma 8-epi prostaglandinF2α (8-epi) analyzed by GC/MS decreased over time with no difference between groups (p < 0.02) and d) no difference in area under the curve. Data are presented as Mean ± SEM. O3FA = omega 3 fatty acid enriched meal, SFA = high saturated fat meal, and MFA = high monounsaturated fat meal. * indicates time point difference from baseline. a, b Difference in superscript denotes difference between meals as the area under the curve for O3FA > SFA (p<0.05)..Back to article page
